A few months back I came here to ask y’all’s opinions after discovering metal in the engine oil of my little JD 3032e. The advice, quite reasonably, confirmed my fears that I needed to take the tractor in and find the problem before the little diesel went kablooey. The local JD dealership has had the tractor for over 2 months. I kept getting pushed behind “big projects,” and when I could get the service manager to talk to me, they would report they couldn’t find anything wrong. After a month, they asked if I’d bring in the old filter. They cut it up, didn’t find any metal. I assured them that I saw metal, and lots of it. Gloopy, silvery sludge. Of course, this was brand new oil that they were inspecting, as I had to fill it up to get it on a trailer and haul it in. I suggested they drop the pan; then they’d surely see what I was describing. Today, I got a call saying to come pick it up. Everything’s fine, can’t find any metal. The Bill’s $650 for, I guess, an oil change, cutting up a filter, and, supposedly, dropping the pan to inspect the bottom end. Considering what I saw in that old oil, I have a hard time believing they didn’t see a big pile of metal sludge in the bottom of that oil pan. I don’t believe they dropped it. I’ll inspect to see if there’s any fresh sealant squished out when I go to pick it up, but I have lost faith in this place regardless. That lesson, along with always having a clean jar to take a sample with in all future fluid swapping endeavors, may be worth the money. But I feel burned. What do y’all think?

I bought my first aftermarket hydraulic implement and I’m struggling to identify the type of fittings it came with so I can make sure the front hydraulics I install on my JD 3032e will match.

I’m trying to decide what to get to add an additional hydraulic circuit to the loader of my JD 3032e. This will operate a snow blade. I have been looking at 3rd function and diverter valve kits and came across a statement in the linked video (about 1:30 in vid) that threw me for a loop. It seems he is saying that a 3rd function can only be all the way open or all the way closed. That might be ok for a grapple but obviously won’t work for a snow blade. For those that have a 3rd function, specifically the Summit kit, is this true?

I’m doing maintenance on “the fleet” of small equipment on the farm. I was horrified to see quite a lot of metal shavings in the old oil I drained out of this 3032e. By the end, it was getting disgustingly thick. The machine is running as it always has. No loss of power, no excessive smoke. 750 engine hours. I know this is never a good sign, but I don’t know what to do next. Run it till it pops, or get ahead of it and get it to an engine shop. Any advice would be appreciated!
